  1. LCD screens do not suffer from burn-in because there is no component in there that would cause burn-in. What you may see in some extreme case is image retention which is not harmful and will fade away soon.

     

     

    Why the hell do they put this in the front page of the manual.I can't understand Samsung.Are they trying to cover their a**?.The are making it sound like image retention is permanent...liking it to burn-in.

  2. Does watching t.v. shows or playing video games in 4:3 format cause burn-in?

     

    How about watching dvd's that are in wide screen format but still have slight borders at the top and bottom of the screen?

     

    I am just wondering about it because on the front page of the manual of my samsung a550 full hd lcd t.v. it says watching shows in 4:3 or playing games with static images for example a map in the corner in a war game etc...can cause burn in.

     

    Yet i have found on these forums people saying that lcd t.v.'s don't suffer with burn in.

     

    So as you can imagine i am very confused about this.

     

    Is there a time limit as to how long you can watch a show in 4:3 before it burns in?

    Can the burn-in be reversed if you switch the t.v. off for a few hours?....meaning do the pixels reset themselves?

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Does limewire have it?

    I recently updated my firefox.

    I also wanted to know if it's harmful in anyway.

  4. I suggest you playback this on the monitor for awhile. While meant for fixing "stuck" pixels, it will rid you of any retention you may have (I've never encountered this, but theres nothing to say it can't happen).

     

    You may also have your contrast set too high. Try turning it down, and see how things are after a few days. Contrast set too high, can cause this sort of artifact as well in ANY display.

     

    Here is the video file, play it back in fullscreen for a good half hour or better yet, overnight if a short period of time doesn't help. - http://itasor.com/pixelmurder.MP4

     

    Warning, may cause seizures! lol

     

     

    Thanks for all your help guys.And thanks Cinder for that file.I don't hve any image retention or dead pixels.I just wanted to be on the safe side and ask about those sort of things and how to avoid them.

  5. They say that lcd t.v.'s don't have what they call burn-in...but they do have something similiar called "Image Retention".

     

    So what you are basically telling me is that watching movies with borders and t.v shows in 4:3 format with the borders on the right and left of the screen won't cause "Image Retention" on my lcd t.v.?.

     

    Could the manufacturers have told me that just to cover their own back sides?.In case something DID happen.Because they told me if i get a permanent image burn on the screen my 3 year warranty doesn't cover that.

  6. I just purchased a 32" lcd t.v.

    It's an LG model number 32LB9D.

     

    I called my lcd t.v. manufacturers and asked them if watching certain shows in 4:3 ratio (the ones with black or grey borders on the right and left side of the screen) can cause image-burn of the so-called borders.

     

    They told me it can in the long term.They told me to just stretch the 4:3 shows to 16:9.

     

    Some shows are filmed that way and if you stretch them to 16:9 they look awful.The other day when i spoke to them they told me if the borders are "grey" and not "black"...then that means that part of the t.v. is still active and won't cause burn in.

     

    But today it's a different story.Do any of these people know what they are talking about?.What is the truth?.

     

    I also play the xbox 360 on mine.I know you shouldn't leave still images on there for too long,so i always turn off the t.v. if i have to pause the game for a long period.

     

    How long would you have to leave an image on there before it burns in?.Do lcd t.v.'s suffer from the burn in effect?.

    Can watching 4:3 shows on a wide screen t.v. eventually burn in the borders on the left and right side of the screen?.

     

    And is there a dvd you can get that you play through your lcd t.v. that white washes the screen to clear in possible image burn issues?.Like a maintenance dvd?.

    Is there a website with all this info i can look at?.I have tried looking for an lcd t.v. tech help forum but can't find any.

     

    Watching dvd movies that are filmed in wides screen still contain some kind of border at the top and bottom of the t.v. screen.Does that mean they will ALSO cause burn in,in the long term?.This all sounds ridiculous and confusing.

  7. What's up with some games not working properly on lcd t.v.'s?.I know that guitar hero on my lcd t.v. has to be re-calibrated.So that the graphics blend in properly with the button presses.And the timing is right.

    And i recently played History channel battle for the pacific...and the aiming was awful.Is it just me or is the aiming in that game bad in general?.

    Anybody else notice any other games that you have to fiddle around with in the settings,to make the game run properly?.

     

    I don't have "game mode" on my t.v. But i do have my 360 plugged into an hdmi socket.Could using a vga cable in the rgb socket in my t.v. make a difference to the delay?.Compared to hdmi?.

  8. I have the newer model 360 with HDMI support.And the below link is the t.v. i am buying next week.That's why i wanted to know if the HDMI picture quality is better than vga etc.Because i already have a vga cable for my 360.Just wanted to know if it's worth getting a HDMI cable.I am using the optical out feature on my vga cable and plugging it into my home theatre system.
